A folksy sort of rock star, fond of acoustic guitars and gratuitous loop pedal. A personal favorite, who I can only hope will make it big on country radio someday when the concept of country radio gets its shit together.

Witch rock and fairy tales. Also plays with the band Tricky Pixie. A delightful person, who I have every intention of borrowing lyrics from to practice narrative illustration.

Musketeer rock, primarily in German. I don't speak German and have no idea what is going on, but the boys are pretty and the music is delightful. Proof I'm a bad millenial who has no idea how to use online nonsense: managed to get my entire Amazon experience in German while buying CDs and had to have a friend fix it.

Pirate shanties and other working songs, made entertaining rather than monotonous. Excellent stuff for workout rhythms, hiking, walking, or just being in a pirate sort of mood.
